President wants Germany to advocate vigorously a CTT
"I think it would be right if Germany would advocate vigorously a levy on international financial transactions", president Horst Köhler said in his address to the new German government on 28 October, 2009.
Köhler, who served as head of the International Monetary Fund IMF from 2000 to 2004, should know something about the subject.
"It seems that the momentum for the FTT could be maintained", commented Peter Wahl from WEED Weltwirtschaft, Ökologie & Entwicklung in an email about the statement of President Köhler.
